Disciplinary Actions Overview – Evansville Police Department

Over the past decade, the Evansville Police Department has faced scrutiny for multiple incidents involving excessive use of force, resulting in several deaths. Notably, between 2019 and 2020, four civilians died following encounters with Evansville officers where non-lethal tactics contributed to fatalities. Internal investigations often concluded that the force used was reasonable, and officers rarely faced disciplinary actions. The department’s training and oversight practices have been questioned, with patterns resembling those criticized by the U.S. Department of Justice in other cities.
